In this work, the ability of the MgCaFe- Layered double hydroxide (LDH) for congo red (CR) dye removal in aqueous solution was investigated. Various parameters such as initial dye concentrations, temperature, adsorbent dosage, pH effect and agitation rate were examined and optimal conditions (10 mgL-1 of the dye concentration, 25 °C of temperature, 0.5 gL-1 of the adsorbent dosage, pH~7 and 450...

In this study, nanoporous hydroxyapatite was synthesized and functionalized via tetraethylenepentamine in order to obtain a novel adsorbent for efficient removal of Acid Blue 25 dye from aqueous solution. Functionalized hydroxyapatite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (...

Synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB41) and Methylene Blue (MB) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. In this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with Citric Acid (CA) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for ...

Background & Aims of the Study: A high nitrate and arsenic concentration in water resources represent a potential risk to the environment and public health. The present work improved a chemo-physically modified activated carbon derived from walnut shells as an adsorbent to improve nitrate and arsenic removal ability from water. Materials & ...

This research was aimed to study the adsorption of Alizarin Red S (ARS) dye using graphene oxide (GO) as an adsorbent compared with bare graphite powder (BGP). For optimum conditions, the effects of the initial concentration of ARS, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time were investigated in detail. The optimum conditions for this work were consisted of 350 mg/L initial concentration o...

Understanding the dynamics of fixed-bed adsorption columns for modeling is a demanding task due to the strong nonlinearities in the equilibrium isotherms, interference effects of competition of solutes for adsorbent sites, mass transfer resistances between fluid phase and solid phase, and fluid-dynamic dispersion phenomena. The interplay of these effects produces steep concentration fronts, whi...

Batch experiments were conducted to test the effects of various solution properties, such as pH, temperature, initial concentration and anoxic and aerobic atmosphere, on Cd removal by nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) supported on industrial coal fly ash. Cd (II) could be removed by adsorption on fly ash-nZVI in a very short time (5 min) with high removal rates (greater than 99.9%) over a wide r...

Cucumissativus peel (CSP), was investigated as a new adsorbent for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution under several varying conditions such as pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time. Maximum metal sorption was found to occur at initial pH 5.0. The adsorption capacity of CSP was found to be 28.25mg/g for initial Pb(II) concentration of 25 mg/l at 25°C. The equilibrium data best fitted to the L...

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied; using platanus orientalis leaves (POL) and their ash in 2006 in Iran. Bach adsorption experiments were performed as a function of solute concentration, contact time, pH and ironic strength for the experiment. The effect of Ca , Mg , Na and K on adsorption was 2+ 2+ + then examined. The effect of this adsorbent on COD in aqueous solution show...

sawdust is now being investigated as an adsorbent to remove contaminants from aqueous solution. heavy metals can be decreased very effectively with the organic material. in this research, adsorption of pb (ii) onto modified beech sawdust in a batch system was investigated. sawdust was collected from timber mill of qom, iran, and modified with h2so4 and naoh. then, the effects of various paramet...
